I intend to close that bug report soon as a "wontfix", since the issue is due to
such a broken, anti-POSIX behaviour of HP-UX make that it is pointless trying to
work around it.  Still, it would be nice if autoconf would explicitly document the
issue, at least in the BUGS file (and IMHO even in the manual).  Hence this ping.
